Third Eye Blind Red Star lyrics

The police high beam froze her perfect face
In white glow for a while
The politic bureau's on high alert
And her name showed up on file

There's trouble with their war effort
She's been speaking out
Checkpoint Charlie's radioing in
She's compromised in doubt

There's trouble with the war effort
And she's crossed the party line
You were so pretty
In the days you spoke your mind

You were so pretty, oh
And you were so pretty, oh
But I didn't know

And the files have been filled
The regime won't be undermined
And you were so pretty in the days you spoke your mind

Quiet now, don't make a sound, the system shut us down now
We find each other in the underground

She had the voice once of the people now she's timid as a mouse
I would kiss you on the mouth in a safe house

Because you were so pretty, oh hiding out, hiding out
You were so pretty, oh hiding out, hiding out
Walk on by hiding out, hiding out
Walk on by, she's a red star, she's a red star

Tell me how did you let them in?
We were silent secret agents but the resistance is wearing thin
Dissent is now illegal and she must pay the consequence
In this thriller mystery baby you are my suspense

Oh, because you were so pretty, yeah hiding out, hiding out
You were so pretty, oh hiding out, hiding out
Walk on by hiding out, hiding out
Walk on by, she's a red star, she's a red star
She's a red star, she's a red star

You've come so far to back down now
You've come so far to back down now
You've come so far to back down now
